VR-Hunter

Well done!

Thats a nice pit coming up. Could you keep it updated how the project takes shape.

Same here. I can´t produce a VRS.

This was really bad suprise to find mouse is unusable. Workaround is to disable "mouse use" in the Setting VR menu

Thanks. This should be a must for every DCS module.

MSAA gives you same effect as in a monitor. In VR optimal MSAA is 4x, higher values cost too much FPS and picture quality doesn´t not improve so much. V-Sync - dont know. Full screen is useful to keep mouse inside DCS and not to active other window/program.

Does anyone know how to change Mig29 to something else?

Same here, looking for squad or some one who can fly in Europe UTC+3 time zone. Prefer pilot position.

Hi, my name is vrhunter and I am a gazelloholic.

+1 Scaling is need for some modules. Hawk has tremendously large cockpit with VC1. L39 is is bit too large. AeroFly FS2 simulator has done VR scaling correctly. Also the scaling needs to be only per one module, so that we have different scaling levels for each aircraft.

Huey wishlist. 1. Too high EGT temps cause engine damage - Iˇve seen too many Huey flight on youtube where one is flying all the time with max (seconde red line) EGT setting. Thats not realistic. 2. GPS or similar - small and simple GPS would be great add-on. Entering and flying to GPS coordinates will be a great improvment. The GPS Unit can be turned on-off in settings menu.

Cant get Simple Radio to work. Install - ok Manual install to saved games - ok. 3 Folders (DCS, alpha and beta) have same files. Export.lua - ok. Line is added. In Simple Radio connection - ok. Oeverlay shows Unknow and No radio and red dots. Even when DCS running and radios switched on. I have Latest Open Beta, Win 8,1, Simpel radio standalone

Auto-collective is C

It happend to me that when computer was on idle few hours then starting DCS is judders a lot. To avoid that I first make a full restart and then start oculus home followed by DCS.

Try MSAA Anti-Aliasing setting with 2x or 4x. In my experiance 16X is over kill and will reduce too much FPS. 2x or 4X MSAA will do the job.

It is rumored that next-gen GTX Titan is annonced in Cologne, Germany between August 17-21, 2016. Source: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/52886/nvidias-next-gen-titan-50-faster-geforce-gtx-1080/index.html

To jamison1982 Good setings. Gonna try that. One suggestion. Turn off Anisotropic filter. In my experiance I does not add anything to picture, only takes frame rates.

I changed the star.fx file in \Bazar - set starSize = 350.0 and now night sky looks more real. I agree that night is to bright for pitch black night. But summer night with clear sky and moon light is quite realistic.

Vr request - - please make the tooltip window disappear after mouse movement ( ~5 seconds is ok)

SLI does not work for VR. I use a combo low settings-high fps. My rig is 6700k 980ti and I use no shadows, although it is nice to have.

Fps near 90 is butter smooth for high speed low level flights or fast/hard turns. High fps also helps to feel well and not to get sick. Later when you grow pair of strong VR legs then low or mid FPS wont affect you so much. Shadows are hardest on FPS, use low or flat shadows. I gonna spam this from "Guide to Oculus Rift Settings for a readable cockpit" topic. Pixel density 1.5 up to 2.0 MSAA Anti-Aliasing. Keep it at 4x ! Anything higer will cost extra framerates and dont add more visible performence. OFF and 2x will make jaggies. Anistropic Filtering: OFF. Any value donˇt improve picutre quality and will slightly reduce FPS. Textures: Medium Terrain Textures: Low Civ. Traffic: Low Water: Low Visibility Range: Low Heat Blur: OFF Shadows: This is a real frame killer. Flat is ok. Low will reduce FPS a lot. Res. of Cockpit Displays: 1024 Every Frame HDR: ON, I say HDR is a must have. Visual effects are much Depth of Field: Off Lens Flare Clutter: anthing from 1-3 half position on slider. Max Clutter will reduce slightly FPS Trees: 4000-6000 Preload Radius: anthing from 1-3 half position on slider. Max PreLoad will reduce FPS Flat Terrain Shadows: Off

May we have a sticky post about VR FAQ?
